That's probably true to a point. For screening or entertainment purposes for most people they probably wouldn't be covered until 50. If there appeared to be an issue and my doctor wanted me to get one before that, I bet it would be covered.Been seeing alot of people say alot of insurance companies cover colonoscopies if you are over 50 even though the recommendation is to start having them at 45 ... what a fuckin disaster america is
Yeah I got mine at 45 (last year) and it was covered. I never thought about getting one prior to 50 but I was told for the same reasons since it runs in the family.That's probably true to a point.

My friend's brother had colon cancer in his early 30s (he survived) and because it tends to run in families, my friend was told to get a colonoscopy yearly. I guess he has been since he's been 35 or so and they have always been covered.
I'm not implying that US healthcare is not a terrible and expensive joke - it certainly is.
Minus two months until free screening for me! *chugs bleach*
